hi I am trying to do my english homework right now. And i was wondering if someone could help me with it. I have to debate the legal drinking age. I live in maryland and the legal drinking age is 21. I have to create an opening statement about why the drinking age should be 21.

here's a fun fact: people of 18 can fire guns, drive tanks, and handle dangerous explosives, but they can't have a -blam!- glass beer!

I think it should be 30
-
Because the drinking age is a federally mandated one, and if your state doesn't comply then you don't get funding for stuff like highways. Other than that, it is pretty pointless to have it up so high.
-
Because the Government said so..................... My guess is, it is based more on maturaty and responsability...........a 21 year old would have more then a 18 year old, 19, or 20 year old.............
-
wouldnt it increase because everyone would get drunk and bang each other?
-
I know. But seriously, just go along the lines of that if the drinking age were under 21, we would all be drunken basterds and the population of children would decrease rapidly.

wow thats helpful

The drinking age is 21 because I said so
